Weird Bridge Mode

I had successfully set up my ea4500 in before bridge mode.  Recently, I had to use it as my main router and reset it to do this.  When I tried again to configure it in bridge mode, I had a problem.  I put to the 'bridge' Mode and set the IP 192.168.1.2. subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and gateway IP to 192.168.1.1.  When I hit enter, I got an "invalid IP address".  After several times to tryinbg, I called Linksys that after having tried several other things, a technician told me also enter "192.168.1.1" in the slot to DNS1.  I've never had to do this before, but it seemed to work.

Someone at - it a reason why I should do.

The two links are "official" links  The link I posted suggests different ways to configure the bridge mode.  Maybe we are just differing by samantics.  Yes, the diagram show a laptop connected to the Ethernet, Lan-to-Wan port.  Howefver, is not the only way to use the router connected by a bridge once it is implemented.

In the link you suggested the second to the last paragraph reads "setting the router in Bridge mode disables the guest access.  When cascading of routers, specifically using LAN to LAN connection, affecting the second router bridge Mode would not allow access for customers.  However, guest access is allowed if the connection type is LAN to WAN. »

I do not use the guest access, is not important for me.  I am only using the accrss as a SSID wireless point in this part of the House.  I've installed and used the router bridge lan-to-lan mode in the past with good success.

  • EA6500 Bridge Mode

    Seems ther emight be a bug here.  The EA4500 Unliek that asks you a mode address bridge, the EA6500 seems to want two.  One for the WAN port and one for the side LAN port.  Weird, but here is where is the bug.  When you select bridge under INTERNET SETTINGS mode, I select the gateway for this device as 172.16.16.3 address.  Then under NETWORK LOCA, she wants an address for the side LAN but seems stuck with 192.168.1.1.  I can assume this is only a bug.  I try to make the side LAN 172.16.16.4 and it does not accept that it seems.  Basically I want to use this thing as an AP as well as use ports such as port cable for installation of AV.  I have this works fine on an EA4500, but on this new EA6500 settings seem strange.

    Figured it out. The LAN section is ignored in Bridge mode. A big good bug. This section must be shaded so it leaves suggesting he needs attention and a framework is really more than a quirk of the interface if nothing else.

  • The most convenient airport in Bridge mode lose packets

    Hi all.

    I have an airport extreme with the version of firmware 7.7.7 (later at the time of this announcement). My modem ISP settings are blocked and it is already fixed to make routing/DHCP/Nat, so I use my airport extreme in Bridge mode to avoid the double NAT (it connects connects to the ISP with DHCP router).

    Both the ISP modem/router and Airport extreme are creating two different 'wifi networks", which belong to the same network (192.168.0.0).

    I can enter each of this Wifi network, obtain an IP address in both cases and start using the internet.

    However, when I use it on my ISP router, everything works perfectly, however, when I use it on the airport network, it fails from time to time.

    If I start ping an external IP address (e.g.: 8.8.8.8), I've never lost a packet on the network of the ISP router, but I lose packets often on the airport extreme network.

    Also, if I ping the ISP of the airport extreme network router I lose packets from time to time. Sometimes also vice versa. I never lose packets when ping the router whose network providing I'm connected to.

    All the settings on the airport extreme values by default (except that I created an additional network of 5 GHz).

    Can you give us some advice as how to solve the problem? I read somewhere that disable ipv6 connection sharing could solve the problem, but it didn't. Thanks in advance

    If you have the Ethernet cable from your ISP router that is connected to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port, unplug the cable and plug it into one of the three ports LAN <>- on the airport to see if this will help with the issue.

    However, if you have the Ethernet cable from the ISP router already connected to one of the LAN <>- port on the AirPort Extreme, then you'll need to reset the AirPort Extreme back to default settings and then set up again.

    If you have any further questions, the Airport extreme is defective and must be replaced.

  • How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

    Data sheet:

    Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

    Luma Surround Wifi 8

    I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

    I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

    I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

    Thanks for your time...

    Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

    In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

    • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
    • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

    To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

  • Bridge mode breaks down wireless network

    I have a Time Capsule of 4th generation, I am creating an additional wifi network at the back of my house to cover a dead zone.  I'm not trying to extend an existing wifi, I seek to create a new wifi network but have it on the same network range as my network existing.

    My ISP is a router that I have in my basement that has wireless on it. .  It powers up to one router links AC that all my devices connect to.  Then, this device provides wired and wireless access to most of the House.  However, I have a task of dead at the back of the House for the wifi.  So I have an Ethernet cable, which goes to the back of the House and who connects in port WAN on the Apple Airport Extreme / Time Capsule (4th gen).   If I set this device to create a new wireless network in bridge mode, it works for about 20 minutes to an hour and then causes a sort of problem on my network and all my other devices go crazy.  If I disable the router from Apple or back to NAT, everything's fine.

    The only reason why I don't want to do this NAT device is because if I put it up to NAT then devices connected to the apple Airport extreme will have more access to the apple TV on the main network.

    So I need no more shots on why the bridge mode does not work on the router from apple or I need to know how to get Apple TV visible on two different IP ranges at the same time.  Unfortunately, the Apple TV can be connected to both wifi and wireless at the same time.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Bridge should work fine... I would suspect that your TC gives signs of decomposition.

    It is now more than 3 years old which is the best before date.

    Try again using static IP method... I think it is more successful than the bridge.

    Should be enough information in this post... but if not just give me all the IP info from the existing modem router to. I can then give you specific info to set the TC.

  • Bridge mode... Router and TC

    My internet does not work if I have my xfinity on bridge mode router and my TC on mode bridge?

    Bridge on the modem/router and Bridge Mode on the TC will not work.

    Xfinity modem/router must be configured as a modem only simple only (in bridged Mode), and the TC must be configured in router Mode of DHCP and NAT

    or

    Xfinity modem/router must be configured normally as a modem/router, and the TC must be configured in Bridge Mode

  • Can I use a wireless bridge mode?

    I have problems with NAT Type 2. I want to disable the appearance of shaping of my Time Capsule and continue to use wi - fi. I thought I knew how to do this after selecting the bridge Mode and place all cables ethernet in making <>_, that the Wireless does not work, as in, it looks good in Airport utility, but I can't connect to my devices. I should add that there is a switch/hub between the TC and the modem cable. Why wi - fi does not work?

    What is the number and model of your modem?

    We ask for the type of modem you have will determine whether or not you can have a switch between modem and Time Capsule.

  • Second Airport Extreme in Bridge mode, ethernet ports does not

    I have two routers, I want to use. The first is a time Capsule (old model 2 TB) connected to a single cable modem. The second is an Airport Extreme (also a little older, the 'flat' last body model until they began to sell towers). Both have the 7.6.4 firmware.

    The problem is that I want to use the second to extend my network, but I don't want to use wifi. I have the second of the WAN port connected via an Ethernet cable to the network served by the time Capsule, but when I launch the extreme in Bridge mode with a Mac Pro plugged into one of the ports ethernet to the extreme, it says it is not connected to the net.

    Y at - there a trick to getting the second router work ports ethernet when used in this way?

    Thanks in advance!

  • No comments in Bridge mode network

    I'm not able to maintain a network of comments on my AEBS. If I use the bridge mode on my ADSL modem, then the guest network is visible but not able to be reached by any user with or without password. If I try to use the bridge mode on my AEBS then I have a double NAT error

    The only way that the AEBS can provide a wireless network by using the Guest network feature is if the airport is configured to act as a router. This would mean that the router mode on the airport must be set to DHCP and NAT.

    If this setting produces a view of Double NAT, then your "modem" will also provide a DHCP and NAT services... and the modem must be configured in Mode bridge true to allow the AEBS functioning on the network.

    Unfortunately, a number of "modem/router" cannot be set to run in real Mode bridge, your first task must be to find out if it is possible to configure your router/modem to operate only as a simple modem in Bridge Mode... and if he can bet set up this way... 'How' to do it.

    If the modem/router was provided to you by your provider of Internet Service (ISP), you will need to get with the people of support at your ISP for answers.

  • Time Capsule backup disabled on Bridge mode

    Hi all...

    I have a 3rd generation (A1355) Time Capsule and I connected on a D-Link DSL-2520U router which is connected to my DSL via PPPoE internet connection. In order to get my setup working, I had to put the network on the bridge mode settings. Since my backup Time Capsule does not work, and when I try to manually force the backup system, it is said: "the backup drive is not found. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

    When I try to put the time Capsule to DHCP, it is said: "the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with your base station WAN IP address."

    Now, what can I do to get it working again?

    Bridge mode is the correct setting of the time Capsule, but you changed the 'path' that has been using Time Machine to locate your Time Capsule on the network, so that it can not find the time Capsule.

    (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences

    Open Time Machine

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the backup disks, click to select the current backup drive

    Click on remove the disc at the bottom right of the window

    Close the windows

    Restart the Mac.

    Then, go to time Machine again as above, click select disk and select the backup drive that you want to use, and then click on using the drive.

    Wait a few minutes for a backup start, or if you do not want to wait... click on the "clock" icon Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac, and then click Backup now.

  • How can I configure my Airport Express to mesh with new cable modem bridge mode?

    Time Warner sent me a new cable modem and my Airport express still flashing orange light. How can I configure the Airport express in bridge mode?

    You can simply do using AirPort Utility on your iMac or iPhone, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the AirPort Express Terminal and then, select change.
    • For a Mac:
      • On the network tab, change the router Mode to: Off (bridge Mode)
      • Select to update and allow the base station restart.
    • For an iOS device:
      • Select Advanced > DHCP and NAT
      • Change the router Mode to: Off (bridge Mode)
      • Select done and allow the base station restart.

  • Time Warner failure: replace BRIDGE MODE DHCP/NAT!

    If I woke up this morning to find that my Time Warner Cable internet has exploded the line last night. According to my AirPort Utility application, my Airport was functioning normally, but it was not connected to the Internet. So I restarted the thought of the airport that could solve. Not only it does not solve my problem, it made it worse:

    Now, he pointed out that the AirPort base station has a private IP address and suggest that change my Airport to use DHCP and NAT mode.

    Now keep in mind, it has been working perfectly for months with the current settings. Suddenly, he must be in Bridge mode after reboot it?

    I had to leave for work so I didn't have the time to reset the modem from Time Warner Cable. However, I suppose that I should not change the settings on my AirPort at the moment since it worked perfectly before?

    I have the current model AirPort Extreme and configured automatically, after several attempts of frustrating with the same modem from Time Warner Cable, which I am currently using, of course it takes hours to acquire a signal of Time Warner Cable.  It has been working perfectly since.

    This should resolve on its own once the cable connection is restored, or is it that this means that I have to completely reset my AirPort Extreme and implemented from scratch with the cable modem I did originally?

    It would help us if you could provide the serial number and model of your modem.

    IF... the modem normally gives you a public IP... so the parameter DHCP and NAT on the most convenient airport would be correct.

    IF... the modem... which normally provides a public IP address was not reset, then it could actually send a 'private' IP address... probably something in the 192.168.x.x range... that is not correct.

    Turning off the modem by pulling on the power cord to the back of the unit

    Unplug the co - ax cable and Ethernet cable

    Let off for at least 30 minutes the modem... 60 would be better.

    Turning off AirPort Extreme as well

    After turn off modem, reconnect things

    Start the modem and let it run for at least 10 minutes by itself

    Then, turn on the AirPort Extreme.

  • R6300 Bridge Mode Wifi settings

    I have the settings wireless on my main R6300 router to be awakened at midnight every night. I plan on setting up my second R6300 in Bridge mode in another room connected via Lan to Lan. These are the two routers in R6300 version 1.

    I'm sure I know the answer but want to make sure... I want the wireless signal to be awakened at midnight on my second router also.

    My question is, do I have to do it manually in the settings of the router second or second router just an extension of the first, so turn off the signal at midnight wireless also?

    HaHa. My bad.

    Yes, I will link two routers with an ethernet cable, which is a set up access point would be in Bridge Mode. Never realized that until you said it.

    I go ahead and close this thread and put the second router in AP mode and manually disable the signal wireless at the time wherever I choose.

    Another small issue however, Lan, Wan or Lan to Lan for installation in AP mode? I see pictures of Lan to Wan but have read where Lan to Lan is used.

    Thank you.

  • How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?

    How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?  My internet provider suggested I check into that and disable the bridge mode for a problem I've had with wireless help all my IP addresses.

    Assuming that you have a current version or recent Mac OS installed on your Mac...

    Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click on the tab at the top of the next page network

    If the router Mode setting = Off (Bridge Mode), then the AirPort Extreme is configured in Bridge mode.

    It's OK for AirPort Extreme setting, unless you want to play with a setting of DHCP and NAT and a network called Double NAT error.  If you do this, AirPort Utility will display a message telling you that the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme is 'off (Bridge Mode).

    http://www.NETGEAR.com/Home/Discover/gaming/

    To halfway to the bottom of this page it mentions expressly the extensions Wireless Bridge mode, but the EX7000 product page, and the manual does not mention this feature.

    "Upgrade your Console WiFi
    Improve your XBox or more slow 11n wireless of PlayStation with a NETGEAR range extender and take advantage of the advances 11ac router speeds available today. You can create a wireless bridge and upgrade your game console WiFi speed by adding a 11ac dual band range extender to your network, and connect your console directly into the range extender, creating a wireless bridge. "And if you decide to choose a desktop range extender, you can use one of the five Ethernet ports to connect your TV, Blu - Ray or continuous player directly in the WiFi network as well."

    Just bought a R7500v2 instead because the documentation does not support the claim of bridge on the EX7000 mode.
